' POWDER-PAID HOLDER.

Application filed November 30, 1920. Serial No. 427,429.

To all whom it, may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE T/Pann, a

citizen of the United States, residing at St. 7

Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Powder-Pad Holders, of which the followingyis a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in powder pad holders, and is particularly adapted for the holding of powderpads which are used in billiard and pool parlors.

The primary object of this invention is the provision of a holder adapted to be secured to the under side of a billiard or pool table in an accessible place for the players, and is so constructed that the powder pad may be easily and quickly renewed from j time to time as is desired.

A further object of this invention is the provision of a holder constructed to provide a powder holding portion and anindicating card receiving portion, the indicating card constituting a locking means to hold the pad against accidental] displacement from the holder. l

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a powderpad holder which is simple and inexpensive and can be manufactured at a comparatively small cost.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features, combination and arrangement of parts, as, will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawing,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holder as made in accordance with this invention,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the holder looking in the direction ofthe bottom,

Figure 3 is a fragmentary portion of, a

billiard table with a holder attached thereto and in position for use,

Figure 4 is a fragmentary view of a table showing my improved holder attached thereto and partly insection to illustrate the securing of the pad in the holder,

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional View of a modified form of the invention showing the same secured to a table,

Figure 6 is a bottom plan view of the modification illustrated in Fig. 5, and

Figure 7 is a transverse sectional-'view'of the ordinary type of powder pads.

Referring to the drawings,

and arranged in spaced relation to the body to form end guide flanges 7 The bottom edge of the bodyfi is bent at right angles to provide a, supporting flange 8 between the the numeral 5 indicates the holder which is constructed of adjacent edges of the flanges 7. The flange 8 andguide 7 constitute a retaining means for a powder pad 9. The upper edge of the body 6 is bent at right angles thereto in a direction opposite to the bending of the flange 8, and it hasits opposite ends bent inwardly upon themselves in spaced parallel relation to form card receiving pocket 10. The bending of the upper edge of the body 6 constitutes a wall 11 and the flanges 12 of this wall at each end thereof are severed from the flanges 7 as at 13 so as to permit the upper terminals of the flanges 7 to form the bottom of the pockets 10, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

The body 6 is provided with suitable openings 14; to receive fastening'means 15 such as screws or the like, whereby the holder may be'secured to the under side of a pool or billiard table A. v

The wall 11 and flanges 12 forming'the card receiving pocket 10 are adapted to re tain a card 16 having printed or otherwise depicted thereon the word Powder, indicating the position and place of the powder to the persons using the table. This card is an oblong strip, andhas its opposite upper edges cut out as at 17, whichpermits it to be raised from engagement withthe inner faces of the flanges 7 so as to permit the removing from and [placing in the holder a powder pad.

ing 18 as shown in Fig. 7 is slipped into the flanges 7 and is limited in its inward movement by the flange 8. The area of the backing 18 being less than thatof the body the holder permits the backing to move inwardly beyond the adjacent edges of the flanges 7, these edges constituting the bottom wall of the openings 10, receive the lower edge of the powder card 16, when the same is slipped behind the flanges 12, and.
